The All Blacks continued their power drive to the 2010 TriNations title with a bonus point 28-49 victory over the Wallabies in Melbourne.
The Wallabies were forced to spend most of the second half with 14 men after Drew Mitchell was shown a second yellow card and therefore a red card.
The All Blacks were a step above the Wallabies and outscored their opponents by seven tries to two.
The All Blacks had scored a bonus point for scoring four tries before half time.
Australia are now in their worst losing streak to the All Blacks since New Zealand had nine wins in a row between 1936 and 1947.
New Zealand have now won 12 consecutive Tests and this was their eighth in a row over the Wallabies to lead the southern hemisphere championship by 11 points over Australia with South Africa yet to register a point.
The Wallabies will now face the All Blacks next week in Christchurch where a win for the home side could win them the TriNations.
Fullback Mils Muliaina scored two tries in his 86th international and fly-half Dan Carter claimed 19 points from a try, four conversions and two penalties for New Zealand.
While the All Blacks were again dynamic following their two home Test wins over South Africa, they were helped along by a flood of Wallaby errors and had the game shot to bits with a 32-14 halftime lead.
The Kiwis bounced back from an eighth-minute charge down try by Mitchell to score four tries and wrap up a bonus point four minutes before the interval.
No sooner had the Wallabies celebrated Mitchell's try off a Carter clearing kick than Carter scored off his own charge down of Berrick Barnes's kick minutes later.
The All Blacks produced a magical try after 13 minutes when Brad Thorn kept the ball alive for winger Cory Jane to get in his kick as he was tackled.
Muliaina swept on to the ball and dashed away for a wonderful try.
The All Blacks were in again off another Australian mistake when fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper lost possession in a maul and Kiwi skipper Richie McCaw picked up the ball and ran 25 metres to score.
The All Blacks finished the half strongly with a try by Jane to claim New Zealand's third bonus point in three Tri-Nations matches this season.
Referee Joubert sent All Black prop Owen Franks and Wallaby winger Mitchell to the sin bin for shoulder tackles in the opening half.
Mitchell paid for again for his lack of discipline when he was red carded for cynically interfering with a quick throw-in at the lineout.
Joubert was heard to tell Wallabies' skipper Rocky Elsom "I'm not responsible for how this affects the game because I warned you..."
The All Blacks pulled further away six minutes after the resumption when Muliaina scored his second try and his team's fifth.
The Wallabies pounded the All Blacks' try-line in over 20 phases before flanker David Pocock was held up by McCaw to deny the Australians.
The home side finally breached the tenacious Kiwi defence through Ashley-Cooper in the 56th minute with Giteau's conversion reducing the deficit to 39-21.
But Joe Rokocoko, New Zealand's all-time most-capped winger in his 64th Test, scored his side's sixth try midway through the half to again stamp the All Blacks' authority.
Elsom scored Australia's third try nine minutes from the end and replacement Corey Flynn dashed over for his side's seventh in the final minutes.
"To score seven tries against Australia in Australia is a great performance," All Blacks coach Graham Henry said.
"I thought there was some scintillating rugby and the game has improved immensely this year as a spectacle and we're pleased to be part of that."
"We didn't have any consistent possession in the first half and that was a big contributing factor to our circumstance," Wallabies' coach Robbie Deans said.
"Obviously, playing with less than 15 men for the greater part of the game compounded that."
