Turner song about exploitation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carousel

'turner' is the definition.
(something which turns)

'song about exploitation' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'carol' (carol is a kind of song**).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'exploitation' becomes 'use'.
'carol' placed around 'use' is 'CAROUSEL'.

(Other definitions for carousel that I've seen before include "it's located in 'Arrivals'" , "Does Carol use this piece of fairground equipment?" , "fairground entertainment" , "airport feature?" , "Musical, roundabout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
