Politicians given credit for a type of fracture (10)

I believe the answer is:

greenstick

'a type of fracture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'politicians given credit' is the wordplay.
'politicians' becomes 'greens' (members of the Green Party).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'credit' becomes 'tick' (on tick can mean purchased on credit).
'greens'+'tick'='GREENSTICK'

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for greenstick that I've seen is " Type of fracture".)

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