stan grant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bear contracts' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'permit for wiradjuri man' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'permit' could be 'grant' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'grant' is located in the answer.
'man' could be 'stan' and 'stan' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' is the link.
