Given that there are no badgers in Australia, the answer is "no". Badgers are also larger than Tasmanian devils, so if they did occupy he same country, there is a good chance a Tasmanian devil would avoid badgers. They would not, however, be averse to eating a dead badger, as Tasmanian devils feed on carrion, as well as hunt live prey.

Aside from the fact that Tasmanian devils and wolverines live on completely separate continents, it is unlikely that a Tasmanian devil could kill one. Tasmanian devils are smaller than wolverines, and they only prey on smaller mammals, up to the size of a small wallaby.
