What effects does the red fox have on Australia?
Predation on native species and competition with native carnivores such as the quoll. Incidentally, fox numbers have increased markedly in recent years thanks in part to animal rights activists attacking furriers and animal skin wearers, vastly reducing the value of Australian skins (which were amongst the best in the world, and not affected by rabies). So few are shot now, the skin price barely covers the cost of fuel and ammunition. So we can thank animal libbers and anti-gun activists for the continued demise of many Australian species.
The fox was always absent from Tasmania, having never been introduced there, but it appears that in recent times foxes have found their way to the island state, most likely with human intervention.
That depends on what you describe as fast. Their top running speed is about 48km/h.

What states do red foxes live in?
Today, the red fox has a range spanning most of North America and Eurasia, southern Australia, and with several populations in North Africa. In Australia the red fox is an introduced species and a conservation problem. Introduction occurred about 1850, for recreational fox hunting, In North America the red fox is native in boreal regions, introduced in temperate regions. There is a recent fossil record of Red foxes in boreal North America, and one subspecies of these native boreal foxes extends south in the Rocky Mountains. In temperate North America, Red foxes are derived from European Red foxes, which were introduced into the Southeastern United States around 1650-1750 for fox hunting, and from there to California for the fur trade. The first introduction is attributed to Robert Brooke, Sr., who is said to have imported 24 Red foxes from England. The introduced European Red fox may have interbred with the scarce indigenous population to produce a hybrid population. Three subspecies of Red fox are found in India: Vulpes vulpes montana (the Tibetan Red fox), found in Ladakh and the Himalayas, Vulpes vulpes griffithi (the Kashmir Fox) found in Jammu and Kashmir less the Ladakh sector, and Vulpes vulpes pusilla (the Desert Fox) found in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan and in Kutch, Gujarat. A subspecies, the Japanese Red fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica) migrated from India to China and eventually to Japan.
