What am I missing, why is the $250 dollar tax offset such a big deal? How does everyone plan to spend this windfall?

"The Government will introduce a $250 Working Australians Tax Offset from the 2027–28 income year, which will provide a permanent annual tax offset to individuals earning employment or sole trader income.

The proposed tax offset would represent the largest permanent increase since 2012-13 and is intended to deliver targeted cost-of-living relief, alongside the already legislated further tax cuts coming into effect for the 2027 and 2028 income years."
