Phoebe told the court: 'At that point I decided I was going to call the police.'
Phoebe and Sam married at the Hooke family estate just outside Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands in December 2015.
Mr Hooke has denied bragging to Burgess that as CEO of the Minerals Council of Australia he had ended the prime ministership of Kevin Rudd.
In that role Mr Hooke had won a brutal fight over what was sometimes known as Mr Rudd's proposed resources super profits tax.
'You told (Burgess) how you brought down Kevin Rudd,' Mr Boulten said.
'You spoke to him and people in his presence more than once during your relationship with him about how you brought down Kevin Rudd.'
Magistrate Ian Cheetham ruled Burgess's lawyers could have access to any communications between Phoebe, Mr Hooke and The Australian before the publication of an article accusing Burgess of domestic violence. Phoebe and Mr Hooke are pictured
Sam and Phoebe Burgess separated in late 2018 before rekindling their relationship. They split again in October last year. Sam is pictured arriving at the marital home at Maroubra in Sydney's south-east in January 2019 and leaving half an hour later with three packed bags
Mr Hooke denied ever telling Burgess that and said he did not have a framed story about himself in his office.
Mr Boulten: 'You do regard yourself and present yourself as a hard man, do you not?'
Mr Hooke: 'No, I do not.'
Mr Boulten: 'Is it true that you abide by a principle, a football saying, "If you're going to hit me, make sure I stay down because if I don't stay down I'm going to come after you".'
Mr Hooke: 'In public policy advocacy.'
Burgess's off-field reputation has taken a battering in the media since his retirement with allegations of excessive partying and domestic violence during his marriage.
This is his first opportunity to publicly defend himself after his image has been repeatedly hammered outside the legal system.
Burgess has been waiting more than 12 months for this case to go to hearing, having insisted through his lawyers from the start he was not guilty of committing any offence.
He has never been required to attend court until today but has been legally represented at repeated mentions of the matter at Moss Vale and Picton courts.
Mr Hooke and his daughter have also not needed to attend court until today and in recent weeks have been pummeled by Burgess's lawyers in their absence.
Burgess is accused of assaulting Mr Hooke at the sprawling Hooke family home, although no actual physical violence has been alleged against him.
Mitchell Harry Hooke had a distinguished career in public policy advocacy, notably as the chief executive officer of the Minerals Council of Australia, from which he retired in 2013. He is pictured at the family farm in October on a day Burgess's charges were mentioned in court
Police have also taken out an interim apprehended violence order to protect Mr Hooke from Burgess, who has had no contact with his father-in-law for more than a year.
The charges and the AVO stem from an incident at the multi million-dollar Hooke estate outside Bowral, where Burgess and Phoebe were married in December 2015.
Police were called to the Glenquarry property, known as Daffodil Downs, on October 19 last year.
Burgess was at the house for an arranged visit with his two young children who had been staying there with their mother since their parents split.
Mr Hooke reportedly asked the English-born dual code international to leave the property, which Burgess did, but police were called about 5pm.
'Police from The Hume Police District attended and an apprehended domestic violence order was applied for on behalf of a 63-year-old man,' a police statement said at the time.
'Following further inquiries, on Wednesday 30 October 2019, a 30-year-old man was charged with the offence of Intimidation (DV related). It's alleged the man intimidated the older man during the incident.'
On October 2 a report in The Australian newspaper made untested allegations of domestic violence by Burgess towards his wife, as well as claims of wild partying including drug use.
A recording of a phone call made by Phoebe to Triple Zero on the afternoon of the October 2019 incident was played in full in Moss Vale Local Court on Monday
The level of animosity between Burgess, 31, and the Phoebe Hooke's family is finally set to be laid bare in one of the most anticipated Australian celebrity court battles in years
Phoebe Burgess has her temperature checked as part of COVID-19 protocols as she enters the courthouse on Monday
That report drew on a 50-page police statement Phoebe had made to police in late September and included quotes from Mr Hooke.
The Burgesses married at Phoebes parents home in December 2015 and have two children, Poppy, who turns four in January, and Billy, who turns two in December.
The couple separated in late 2018 before rekindling their relationship by April 2019. They split again in October last year.
Burgess, one of four footballing brothers, was lured to the Rabbitohs by club part-owner and Hollywood star Russell Crowe, and helped guide them to the 2014 premiership.
He quit rugby league on October 30 last year due to a chronic left shoulder injury.
Phoebe Burgess is a French-speaking brand ambassador and keen tennis player who makes occasional appearances on morning television.
She grew up in Bowral and went to the all-girls Frensham School before spending a couple of years writing for Cleo and Dolly magazines and working as a producer at Channel 7's Sunrise program.
Mitchell Hooke had a distinguished career in public policy advocacy, notably as the chief executive officer of the Minerals Council of Australia, from which he retired in 2013.
The matter has been adjourned until January 2021.
