Dozens of managers at Woolworths have been sacked or disciplined over an internet pornography scandal, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The retailer denied suggestions as many as 150 managers nationwide had been caught out, telling the newspaper instead only "a handful" of the company's 100,000 staff were involved.

Woolworths spokeswoman Nicola Rutzon said the company had strict rules governing the acceptable use of information systems, including the internet.
"This includes rules in regards to sexually explicit material," she told the paper.
"Employees understand that should they violate these rules, which causes deep offence to many people, then disciplinary action will follow."
The sacked employees, believed to include several in Sydney, found out when they arrived at work on Thursday morning.
"They were dismissed and told to hand over the keys to their company cars," Ms Rutzon said.
