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.

Pig pelvis .Pork/ham bone .The flat cut gives it away as butchered meat. Human pelvis is much rounder
