Justified insult limited by Captain's control (7)
 
Reclued, as a hint:

Just like stuffing steer (7)
 
Big hint:

"Mr. Chekov, you have the <captain's control>".

Not quite ('conning' is a verb form, but 'Captain's control' is a noun phrase).

It's a toughie. I continue picking words from the media that I've had to look up. Could be, also, that one of the wordplay synonyms might not be common knowledge down under (I'm not sure).

?
 
"limited by" is an indicator

who the blazes has ever heard of the word …
I hadn't! (It still looks like a spelling error, ha.)

Good job, Romsek ⭐

Lately, I've been seeing/hearing a number of unfamiliar words (eg: 'interregnum' and 'mewler'), in the media.
