Bangladesh have been bundled out for 95 just three balls after tea as Australia completed an innings-and-51-run victory in the second Test in Mackay to level the series 1-1.
The Tigers failed to reach three figures in either innings for the first time in their Test history, having been dismissed for 64 in the first innings.
Australia made 210 in their only innings, meaning only three teams in Test history have won by an innings after scoring fewer.
Nathan Lyon wrapped up the match in the opening three balls of the final session.
Taskin Ahmed was caught at slip off the first ball after tea for eight, before Shoriful Islam was caught by Mitchell Starc at backward point two deliveries later for a duck.
Mushfiqur Rahim was left unbeaten on 29 from 80 balls.
The Test lasted a little over five sessions, making it one of the shortest matches ever and only the second-shortest in Australia by time played.
Yet Another Batting Collapse
Bangladesh had gone to tea on 95-8, still 51 runs short of making Australia bat again after conceding a 146-run first-innings lead.
The second innings began badly, with Mitchell Starc removing Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque in successive deliveries.
Shadman made one before edging to point, while Mominul was bowled for a golden duck.
Pat Cummins then removed Tanzid Hasan for nine after the opener pulled a short ball to Starc at long leg.
Bangladesh went to the lunch break on 39-3, with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto on 23 and Mushfiqur on four.
Shanto and Mushfiqur added 27 before the Bangladesh captain gave his wicket away trying to hit over cover, picking out Starc at long-off for 31.
Litton Das then fell for his third duck of the series, edging Starc outside off stump to Beau Webster.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz followed for one after chasing a wide short ball from Cummins and edging through to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.
Hasan Mahmud made two before gloving a Cummins bouncer to Travis Head at short leg.
Starc returned to bowl Taijul for seven, claiming his 10th wicket of the match and the fourth 10-wicket haul of his Test career.
He finished with 4-39 in the second innings, while Cummins took 3-10 and Lyon 3-25.
7-star Shoriful
Earlier, left-arm seamer Shoriful had produced career-best figures of 7-48 to prevent Australia from building an even bigger first-innings lead.
Australia resumed on 165-8 and added 45 runs in the morning before being dismissed for 210.
Shoriful removed Cameron Green for 67 with an inswinging yorker to complete his seven-wicket haul.
His figures were the best by a Bangladesh bowler in an away Test and the best by a visiting bowler in Australia since 1993.
Bangladesh had been bowled out for 64 on the opening day, with Starc taking 6-12.
The defeat ended the two-Test series all square at 1-1 after Bangladesh won the opener in Darwin by nine wickets.
