Responses are available per-question, however unfortunately there is no text download; I had to scrape the responses from the site. Here are wordclouds of the responses to the Open Data section, question 1 "What could be done to make it easier for you to find and use government data provided online?" as of the morning of December 10, 2011 (the first week of the consultation). Note that the Open Information section has the same question for information rather than data "What could be done to make it easier for you to find government information online?" It's not clear to me how many people will distinguish between finding data and finding information.
The raw text I scraped is available in a Google Doc.
The three images below (generated using wordle) are all the same text, just different arrangements. I also did one with open data questions 1 & 3 combined, but the results weren't much different. Since there's no tag/hashtag declared for the consultation, I just tagged them with the Twitter tag for the the upcoming discussion: opengovchat
