    Direct Factory Outlets

    Direct Factory Outlets, abbreviated as DFO, is the name for a no-frills group of discount shopping centres in Australia. They are large-floor warehouse buildings containing partitioned stores where retail outlets sell excess or previous seasons' stocks at reduced prices.

    Business model

    It model is to find cheap land, build a cheap but air-conditioned shopping mall.

    The Direct Factory Outlet retail chain is owned by the privately owned Austexx Group, led by David Goldberger and David Weiland with their first centre opened at Moorabbin Airport (Cheltenham) in 1997. ACCC chief Graeme Samuel holds a $50 million interest in Austexx through a blind trust. Valued at A$1.5 billion, in early 2010 the business was put up for sale with a number of retail investment funds expressing interest.

    DFO centres have traditionally been located around airports: a side effect of the Airports Act of 1996, the Commonwealth Government has planning control over the land, meaning state planning legislation can be bypassed by developers. In addition the property developer is able to exploit the cost difference between retail and industrial rents, gives outlet centre operators a distinct advantage over traditional shopping centres. A survey by Melbourne newspaper The Age in 2007 found that in all three DFO-owned centres, most shops carried at least some full-price, current-season stock, available at normal shopping centres. By 2008 five legal challenges to DFO developments have been made by competing retail developers and the Shopping Centre Council of Australia, all being unsuccessful.

    Jurisdiction Of Love

    by: Devo

    SOMEONE SAID THAT
    NO ONE KNOWS WHAT
    GOES ON INSIDE
    SOMEONE IN LOVE
    STRANGE AS IT SEEMS
    IT MAKES THEM DO THINGS
    IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS
    WOULD NEVER THINK OF
    PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS
    THEY DON'T DESERVE
    A JURISDICTION OF LOVE
    ENOUGH'S NOT ENOUGH
    WHEN LOVE GETS ROUGH
    THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
    OFF THEIR WALLS
    JUST LIKE NIAGARA FALLS
    LOGICAL THOUGHT
    IS NO COMFORT
    IT ONLY MAKES THE
    MATTER SEEM WORSE
    MIGHT EQUALS RIGHT
    IN CONCUBIAL FIGHT
    THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
    LOVE EQUALS WAR
    I DON'T LIKE IT NO MORE
    THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
    PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS
    THEY DON'T DESERVE
    A JURISDICTION OF LOVE
    WHEN LOVE TURNS THE CRANK
    IT DEMANDS CARTE BLANCHE
