We have a backroom full of revolutaries already.
I would say if I thought the revolution had a chance to succeed. Which is to say, probably never. People don't care until it's too late.
Re: What would it take for you to rebel?
Probably if I felt that my family was physically endangered or was being treated unfairly by the establishment. Im not sure. If enough people I knew were rebelling I would probably start too.

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

I'd hope to be able to emigrate before the trouble really started.

You're from Australia. I don't exactly know the situation in your country, but don't you imagine the Aborigines hate your government?

Re : What would it take for you to rebel?
Honestly, as said earlier, it would depend on numerous factor, emotional, political, economical, etc.
Though I think I would be much more prone to rebel against a democracy than against an autoritarian or totalitarian regime.
For all I know, I might as well join a totalitarian regime, given the right circumstances/brainwashing/whatever. And if I were to rebel against one, it would probably more caused by personal issues (my familly being harmed) rather than to protect some generic human rights.
