Ross

I believe the answer is:

hot potato

'controversial topic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hot potato that I've seen before include "tricky issue?" , "Topical, dangerous, issue" , "Contentious issue" , "Troublesome situation for spicy spud" , "Difficult matter" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Newsday.
