If you're not paying any tax in the country that you're earning the money then the ATO will expect you to pay the same amount of tax as if you earned all the money here in Australia
Also incorrect. The ATO are only interested in overseas tax payments for tax offsetting purposes ie double taxation. There are many Australians living and working in Dubai who are legally non-residents of Australia for tax purposes but pay no income tax in the UAE either because there isn’t any income tax in the UAE.

If during a period (say 3 year) I also have income from a tenant renting my house. Do I need to pay this tax while I am still overseas?
In a nut shell, yes, and if you are a non-resident of Australia for tax purposes, at the non-resident tax rate ie higher. I would be careful saying you will be living and working for three years overseas though as in the eyes of the ATO it shows “intent” to return to Australia and you could be deemed a resident of Australia for tax purposes.
