The matter being discussed (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Matter of contention" , "that may be taken where there's disagreement?" , "Continent" , "Result, outcome; topic" , "outlet" .)

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