Again I object; phone for corrective (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remedial

'corrective' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'again i object phone' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'i object' becomes 'me'.
'phone' becomes 'dial' (dial phone is a kind of phone).
're'+'me'+'dial'='REMEDIAL'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for remedial that I've seen before include "appropriate for poor learners" , "Providing a cure or treatment for illness or deficiency" , "palliative" , "Providing cure or help for disability" , "for slow learners" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
