It was the first time in six years that New Zealand have beaten their nearest neighbours and reigning World champions.
A try to centre Esarn Marsters in the 57th minute extended the Kiwis' lead to 20-12 after a stepping run by Johnson who linked with Smith and second-rower Isaac Liu.
New Zealand captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak declared that the Kiwis would only continue to improve as they begun a new era for global football by inflicting the first defeat in Mal Meninga's tenure as Australian coach. "They took it up for the crowd and our country and did our families proud".
"But we're still building".
"We came into camp to build foundations not only for us going forward but the Kiwis coming through and the kids after that", Watene-Zelezniak.
The North Queensland playmaker had a hand in most of the Australian under-20s' best moments to earn man-of-the-match honours in the seven-tries-to-five victory on Saturday.
The result capped a triple-header of New Zealand v Australia contests at Mt Smart Stadium, with Australia winning the earlier under 20s and women's contests. New Zealand was on a three-match losing streak in tests against all countries, and discouraged fans stayed away.
Australia, in contrast, is rebuilding after the retirements of veterans Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk, and New Zealand took advantage of a leadership vacuum.

Dans cette affaire, un jeune majeur et un mineur ont été mis en examen pour tentative d'homicide volontaire et écroués. C'est aux alentours de 18 heures 50, rue de la Rochefoucault, qu'une rixe a éclaté entre les deux bandes.
It was a remarkable effort for the Kangaroos to lead 12-8 at half-time given New Zealand had 69% of possession but the Kiwis dominated the second half.
Valentine Holmes and Lattrell Mitchell were a unsafe attacking combination down the left-hand side and they created Australia's first try, to Holmes, after only two minutes.
"We want to give this nation what they deserve".
"From my point you nearly feel like you've left the past players down", Cook said.
Australia's late rally put the Kiwis under pressure but the were able to see off the threat.
"We didn't give ourselves much chance but we stuck in there and it was a tight finish", he said.
"It was pretty disappointing, our ball control, and we showed when we held it we can score some points".
The Kiwis are next in action when they travel to the United Kingdom for a three-Test series against England later this month.
