"Which country formerly featured a pair white mice on its highest denomination note?"
I'd assumed that they were just a pair of lab critters, part of the general ambience of Florey's role in the discovery of penicillin. Now that it's been revealed that Bollard was up to his tricks in those parts back in the day I'm inclined to suspect that it's an illuminati thang. The Richmond Workingmen's Club is renowned as a hotbed of that Erwige Blumenkraft stuff.

Aussies only introduced the hundred dollar note in 1984. This story allegedly happened in 1974, if Bollard was 23 at the time.
Bollard was young, concussed, and already showing an early talent for factoring in the effects of inflation. Howevah, there's no way anyone but the profoundly colour blind could confuse the old $50 Florey 'pineapple', with it's cryptic symbolism of a pair of white mice worked into the design (true) with the monochrome $100 Mawson 'grey nurse'.

And in general I've found the coverage a lot more sane and balanced than the coverage of most other things -
When 'most other things' consists of 'Editor's picks' such as Linsey Lohan's latest tattoo, well naturally. The 'element of vaudeville' you describe has been centre stage for some time now.

Yes, except... no. It's not what happened at all.
Ah . . . so, for example, "Nick Smith stricken with suspected Coughing Pig Death" isn't alarmist nonsense. I stand corrected.
