But 15 meters a year is really, really fast. The rest of the world is moving like 5-6 cm a year.

I have a hard time believing that figure because this would imply that Australia has moved 750 kilometers north in just the time since humans lived there. That would be really surprising to me.

Edit: as I suspected, it moves more like 15 meters every century. Still extremely fast for a continent, but not 15 meters a year.

Yes, it is indeed not 15 meters per year, sorry about that.

Removed that from my comment.
