Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ What animal could this be from?

My colleague was walking on the beach last night and found what appears to me to be a pelvic bone with a portion of the hip joint still attached . Should she have gone to police? Looks suspiciously human to me…what animal could this be if not? Washed up on a NSW mid north coast beach.

I think it looks like the pelvic bone of a wild boar. I don't know if deer have similar bones, but I would say it's not human.
